This results in inflammation causing swelling, increased blood flow, and ulcerations. In Crohn’s disease, these ulcerations go into the full thickness of the intestinal lining. This may lead to a narrowing of the bowel, which can lead to partial or total blockage of the intestinal flow, called bowel obstruction. Symptoms of intestinal obstruction include cramping around the mid-abdomen, frequently associated with vomiting. The abdomen may also become bloated and distended.
It is usually in the form of vomiting and abdominal pain that can mimic necrotizing enterocolitis and may lead to delay in diagnosis. This happens because in intussusception peristalsis is disturbed and lymphatic and venous obstruction occurs causing ischaemia or perforation. In term neonates, symptoms are very similar to those of other causes of neonatal intestinal obstruction while in preterm neonates they are very similar to those of necrotizing
Kathy Hijazeen Gastroparesis Gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders are common and cause either delayed or accelerated transit through the stomach, small intestine, or colon.2 Gastroparesis is a common chronic GI motility disorder. Gastroparesis is the cause of a wide range of abdominal complaints. “Gastro” means stomach and “paresis” means paralysis or weakness. Gastroparesis in laymen terms is a weak stomach.1,2 The stomach lies in the left upper quadrant (LUQ) of the abdomen.3 The stomach consists of three main parts, the fundus which is the highest part, the body which is the middle, and the pylorus which is the lowest part of the stomach. The stomach receives food from the esophagus through the cardiac orifice which is just above the fundus.
Stage 3 - The sore worsens and extends beneath the skin surface, forming a small crater. There maybe no pain at this stage due to nerve damage. The risk of tissue death and infection are high. Stage 4 - pressure sores progress with extensive damage to deeper tissues (muscles, tendons and bones) serious complications such as osteomyeltis (infection of the bone) or sepis (infection carried through the blood can occur) 2) Identify pressure sites of the body. Common places where pressure sores are likely too develop are, back of head and ears, elbows, lower back and sacrum area, shoulders, hips, heels and inner knees.. 3) Identify factors which might put on individual at risk of skin breakdown and pressure sores.
Older children and adolescent have a more developed omentum, which walls off the inflamed or perforated appendix, often causing a focal abscess. • significant abdominal pain, especially around the bellybutton or in the lower right part of the abdomen (perhaps coming and going and then becoming consistent and sharp) • low-grade fever • loss of appetite • nausea and vomiting • diarrhea (especially small amounts, with mucus) • swollen or bloated abdomen, especially in infants The symptoms of appendicitis can vary according to a child's age. In kids 2 years old or younger, the most common symptoms are vomiting and a bloated or swollen abdomen, accompanied by pain. Laboratory and diagnostic test: • Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan: performed to visualize the appendix for further evaluation • Laboratory testing: may reveal an elevated white blood cell count • C reactive protein: may be elevated If appendicitis goes untreated, the inflamed appendix can burst 24 to 72 hours after the symptoms begin. 2.
What are the symptoms of ascites? Abdominal pain, discomfort, and bloating are frequently seen as ascites becomes larger. Shortness of breath can also happen with large ascites due to increased pressure on the diaphragm and the migration of the fluid across the diaphragm causing pleural effusions (fluid around the lungs). A cosmetically disfiguring large belly, due to ascites, is also a common concern of some patients. How is ascites
Some of its symptoms include weight loss, cramping, and diarrhea. Another type is jejunoileitis. With this type, fistulas may form in the affected area of the jejunum. This type also has diarrhea and cramping as symptoms ("Crohn's Disease," 2011). Gastroduodenal Crohn's disease occurs in the duodenum and the stomach.
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive gene disorder. This disease affects the lungs most significantly. It also affects the pancreas, liver, and intestines, and various organs. This disease is characterized by the buildup of thick, sticky mucus that can damage vital organs. This abnormal mucus can clog the airways which will lead to severe problems with breathing and bacterial infections in the lungs.
Serious complications, such as osteomyelitis (infection of the bone) or sepsis (infection carried through the blood) can occur. http://www.spinal-injury.net/spinal-injury-network/images/pressure-sore-stages.jpg Identify pressure sites of the body. Common places where pressure sores are likely to develop are, back of head and ears, elbows, lower back and sacrum, shoulders, hips, heels and the inner knees. Identify factors which might put an individual at risk of skin breakdown and pressure sores. Factors that put individuals at risk of skin breakdown and pressure sores are confinement to a bed, chair or wheel chair, Inability to change positions without help, loss of bowel or bladder control, poor nutrition and/or dehydration and decreased mental awareness.
